"When it comes to the NFL draft, the Broncos have made their first list. They will be checking it more than twice.

"We had our December meetings. We set our first (draft) board from the fall evaluations," Broncos general manager Brian Xanders said. "Now we're at the point where we have started the cross-check."

That means before the April 26 start of the three-day, seven-round draft, the Broncos' draft board will see a lot of changes."
